In Virgin Music this morning, Union Square, New York City, the blackboard of new releases had Missy Elliott under June 17. Seems more likely than August 26 since reviews are already appearing, like in VIBE and now the cover story in VENUS.

There's no way. It'll be August at the earliest.

Hi Dutch--thanks, so I wonder why reviews are appearing so early--May reviews for an August release seems a little unusual, doesn't it? They usually appear a couple of weeks before. Trying to build up a lot of anticipation?

This is purely a guess.. but I'm betting it's because they put these reviews, etc. into action when they thought the album would be coming out May/June.. since a lot of work goes to getting things printed, etc.
